jap bob build

[criminalxj]

ok not a 4x4, but what the hell, it is a 1980 yamaha xs-400,something i picked up cheap a while back, going to make a bar hopper/smoke out bike out of it.
made a custom coffin tank for it so far, and got the brunt of the rigid tail out of the way, alot more to come though.

put a 2 person seat on that and some Z bars and it would be old school for sure

join the club man, I've been slowly working on my cb750 for quite a while. Don't know if you ever go to hondachopper.com, but we have a yearly get together at the Riders Roost for every one that can make it. It's a great time! There's definitely some interesting characters there to say the least

 

[untchabl]

Yea, I've been lurking around on hondachopper, just reading and checking out builds.
